...muckerish" way in which certain undergraduates attempted to win the game by yelling. Yesterday we had occasion to call attention to the evil which was creeping into the class games. Now, in an intercollegiate contest, Harvard has been reduced to the level which has always been the object of scorn and contempt heretofore, and deserves to remain so. It is much to be regretted that, besides those who supported the nine, there were men on the team itself, whose conduct eminently ill-fitted the occasion.

I am quite aware that many of the last generation of walkers object to the present style in which it is accomplished, on the ground that it is really a disguised form of running, and very often I agree with them. But it is not so in all cases; and there are many scrupulously fair walkers who can hopelessly beat most times made...
